I wish I was a Monkey..
i'd sleep in the trees.
I'd do my best, to imitate the man
who does his best not to imitate me.
You know i'd have thumbs, just like a man
but none of the obligations.
Yeah Everything i'm tied to now would be gone,
gone gone gone gone
I'd like to be a monkey,
be monkeys with you
cause i'm a monkey by myself with a lot of S**T to do
i'd like to be a monkey, be monkeys with you
cause i'm a monkey by myself
I'm in trouble with my family,
i'm in trouble with the law,
i'm in trouble financially
I guess you could say I get in trouble a lot.
I've danced frantically in passion,
i've lain motionless in apathy,
but all I wanna do is swing in the trees,
away from the agony of love,
and sex and drugs and love,
and sex and drugs and love,
and sex and drugs and all....and all of the lack thereof.
I'd like to be a monkey,
be monkeys with you
cause i'm a monkey by myself with a lot of S**T to do
i'd like to be a monkey,
be monkeys with you, cause i'm a monkey by myself.
Rap:
Now if I was a monkey, i'd be very very funky
an abundance of bananas, Monkey bitches and the Skunky
Big red eyes and a big red ass,
chillin in my monkey bungalo made of sticks and grass
the monkey life is the life for me,
not a pirate or an emcee.
Emcee spider monkey,
the fly white honkey, the king of the jungle,
the pimp in the palm trees,
dippin, sippin on coconut wine,
blingin out my rings, bustin out my rhymes,
cruisin in my pint sized escalade, smokin philly blunts in the shade,
this monkey's got it made...
yeah this monkey's got it made..
